Execution of High-Rise Steel Reinforced Concrete Building

CRITICAL INCIDENT ANGLE FOR THE MINIMUM COST DESIGN OF LOW, MID AND HIGH-RISE STEEL AND REINFORCED CONCRETE-COMPOSITE BUILDINGS

One of the main tasks of engineers is to design structural systems light and economic as possible, yet resistant enough to withstand all possible loads arising during their service life and to absorb the induced seismic energy in a controlled and predictable fashion. The traditional trial-and-error design approach is not capable to determine an economical design satisfying also the code require...

High-Rise Reinforced Concrete Structures: Database-Assisted Design for Wind

Advances in wind pressure measurement and computer technology have made time-domain analyses of wind effects on high-rise structures possible in recent years. Time-domain solutions use aerodynamic and wind climatological databases and provide full phase information on wind-induced response that is lost in the frequency-domain approach; therefore, they can account rigorously for the superposed e...

Some Studies on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibres give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibres. Hence, in this pr...

Steel versus Steel-reinforced Concrete Bridges: Environmental Assessment

Bridge material selection has traditionally been b~ed on e.ngineering and economi~ criteria. With the increasing interest of the public, industry, and government m sustainable:: development, en~lronmental. assessment in construction is becoming more important. However, we need metrtcs and data on deSign alternatives for effective decision making. In this paper, we present results of a life cycl...
